Chapter 12 He seemed to be regretted...

The moment Zhui Du said "break the formation", the surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically.

The originally emerald green leaves immediately turned crimson, and the grass on the ground turned dark purple in an instant. The originally cloudless sky was covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain began to fall.

The insects they had just discussed gradually broke away from the leaves, branches and grass they had been staying on, and moved towards them.

"What's going on? Didn't they say these bugs can't be driven by humans? Looking at their posture, it's clear they're being instructed by someone to attack us!"

Shangguan Jieshu swept across a circle of slowly crawling insects on the ground and shouted towards the location where the poison was being chased.

“Of course they won’t follow instructions!

But because they fear having their fate dictated by humans, they naturally hate humans! Whenever they encounter humans, even if they know they are part of a plan, they are willing to obey the plan and kill the humans near them!

While explaining to everyone, Zhui Du gently raised his finger, trying to call out the insects for his use.

However, the next second, he found that no matter how he summoned, the insects on his body did not respond at all, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Ali, can you call out the bugs on your body now?"

Zhui Du looked at Mo Youli and asked.

Hearing Zhui Du's question, Mo Youli immediately realized that there was something wrong with Zhui Du's insect control technique, and immediately took out his white jade flute from his waist and started playing it.

"No! I feel as if I have been forcibly cut off from the communication channel with the bugs. I can't make any contact with them at all."

Mo Youli tried hard to play his white jade flute. The melodious sound of the flute seemed out of place in this creepy environment. It was extremely beautiful, but unfortunately, it was useless.

Mo Youli helplessly discovered that no matter what method he used, he could not get a response from the insect.

After receiving Mo Youli's reply, Zhui Du's eyes turned cold and he sneered on the spot.

He looked into the distance, as if he was gazing at some invisible being from afar. He activated his Dantian and shouted:

"I didn't expect that I, Zhui Du, would have such a great reputation. I don't know what I have done to deserve such a big move, even resorting to such a drastic measure as the Suppression Array, in order to prevent me from approaching the Insect Sacrifice Tower."

The suppression array, as the name suggests, suppresses all those who can control insects and cuts off any communication with insects.

This formation naturally has no effect on outsiders, but for the Mist Sprout Clan who rely on insect control technology to survive, it is a fatal crisis that threatens the survival of their race and is considered a forbidden technique.

Unless you are dealing with a top-level criminal from the Wuya tribe whose abilities far exceed those of the entire tribe, you should never use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

It's funny to say, he didn't commit a big crime by chasing drugs, at least within the clan, he had never committed any murder or other illegal acts, but he was treated as a criminal of the highest level.

While Zhui Du was talking, the bugs had unknowingly surrounded them into a circle, and then each bug was superimposed on another bug, gradually forming a high wall.

As they watched, the high wall slowly curved inward, as if preparing to connect the tops of the walls together until it formed a complete circular lid, completely covering them and blocking all their escape routes.

"Brother, be careful!"

All the insects became transparent, and the original insect wall seemed to have never appeared. The human eye could only see a series of scenery.

Faced with this situation, everyone's alarm bells rang. Shangguan Jieshu looked around cautiously, but he was still a step too late.

Fortunately, Shangguan Shujie, who was standing next to him, sensed something was wrong at the first moment when the crisis struck. She quickly raised her hand and grabbed an invisible object about one millimeter away from Shangguan Jieshu's ear.

The soft touch on her hand was obviously not right. Shangguan Shujie frowned, her eyes sharp, and she pinched it hard without hesitation, then threw it on the ground.

Those are transparent bugs on the bug wall. They will also automatically become invisible when attacking. Only when they are caught and killed will they reveal their true form.

The real bodies of these insects are milky white. After being crushed to death by Shangguan Shujie, they were thrown on the ground, and milky white sticky insect pulp emerged, which was extremely disgusting.

"Shujie, how are you? Are you okay?"

After Shangguan Jieshu reacted, he quickly pulled Shangguan Shujie's hand, fearing that Shangguan Shujie would be poisoned accidentally because of skin contact with the insects.

In the face of Shangguan Jieshu's concern, Shangguan Shujie just smiled lightly, let Shangguan Jieshu check, and said:

"It's okay. Before I took action, I used my internal energy to wrap my fingers. They are completely isolated from the insect. It won't have any impact."

These words successfully made Shangguan Jieshu breathe a sigh of relief. He carefully looked at Shangguan Shujie's hand and confirmed that everything was fine. Then he silently let go of Shangguan Shujie's hand.

After thinking about it, Shangguan Jieshu was still a little angry. He criticized:

"Next time you encounter this kind of thing, just push me away. Why do you have to do it yourself? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to my family?!"

Shangguan Shujie nodded obediently and let Shangguan Jieshu give her verbal education.

"Stop arguing! Don't you realize what kind of situation we are in now?! If you have anything to say, wait until we break through this formation!"

Nie Erfeng directly stopped the conversation between the Shangguan brothers and sisters, looked around and scolded them.

After speaking, Nie Erfeng looked at Zhui Du and asked:

"Since you said to break the formation, how exactly can we break the formation?"

Zhui Du pondered for a moment and replied:

"Breaking the formation is not difficult, but I need some time to plan it."

After receiving Zhui Du's reply, Nie Erfeng snorted coldly:

"Then I hope you hurry up!"

After saying that, she took off her earmuffs and listened carefully to everything around her.

After a long while, a large pile of copper wires were thrown out from her sleeves. She glanced at Liu Roulei beside her and said:

"I heard a large number of insect souls chirping in the soil below us. This is even more terrifying than the transparent insect wall we saw on the ground. If we are not careful, it may lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

I need you to assist me, along with my brother. The three of us will be mainly responsible for dealing with the dangers that may arise at any time under our feet.

As for the rest…"

Nie Erfeng looked towards Xu Ren'er and asked:

"We'll handle the underground, can you handle the aboveground?"

Xu Rener made a "don't worry" gesture and said:

"Just leave it to us. You just focus on our underground affairs. We can handle the rest."

Nie Erfeng nodded, then strode towards Nie Mufeng. With a wave of his hand, he removed the veil from Nie Mufeng's face and said meaningfully:

"There are no ordinary people here, so you don't have to worry about hurting innocent people. Now, you can unleash your abilities without restraint."

——

"What am I going to do?"

Liu Roulei followed the Nie siblings, keeping a short distance from Xu Ren'er and the others, and asked Nie Erfeng.

"There are a ton of bugs down there, and my copper wire's attack range is limited, so I can't take care of too many. You've been battling me for a long time, so you're familiar with my attack methods.

Although you can't see those invisible bugs, you should be very clear about which direction I want to attack.

Later, I'll use my copper wire to destroy the area where the bugs are most concentrated underground. I'll forcibly pick them up, and the rest will be left to you."

Liu Roulei understood and instantly grasped Nie Erfeng's meaning.

After receiving Liu Roulei's response, Nie Erfeng closed his eyes, put his hands down, and the copper wire in his sleeves followed the direction of her ten fingers, suddenly embedded into the ground, and continued to extend downward.

She shook her fingers slightly, and the copper wire under the ground would turn and move freely according to her thoughts. The entire ground seemed to be completely under her control.

Nie Erfeng listened carefully to the sounds of the insect spirits below, identifying their numbers, judging their abilities, and pondering where to begin...

While Liu Roulei was exploring, she had already prepared silver needles in advance and was ready to take action at any time.

Let’s start here!

Nie Erfeng locked the direction, suddenly opened his eyes, shook his arms up and down vigorously, then pulled the copper wire and pulled it hard backwards. The originally flat ground was directly broken, and lumps of mud were everywhere.

After successfully blowing up the ground, Nie Erfeng quickly withdrew the copper wire, gave Liu Roulei a look, and then attacked the mud flying in the air again.

Liu Roulei accepted Nie Erfeng's gaze and watched Nie Erfeng's series of operations. Her brain, which was originally a little fuzzy, suddenly had an idea.

With a flick of his fingertips, a batch of silver needles scattered around Nie Erfeng's copper wire. The next second, the silver needles split into two from the middle, extended to both sides, and pierced all the transparent insects picked out by the copper wire.

The dead insects quickly turned milky white and fell to the ground little by little from the air. In this slightly gloomy environment, these dead milky white insects were particularly eye-catching.

Faced with this situation, Nie Erfeng and Liu Roulei did not take it lightly, but became more vigilant.

Nie Erfeng said calmly, "It's not over yet."

Liu Roulei responded softly: "I know."

Nie Erfeng spread her legs, crossed her left leg and half-squatted, shaking the copper wire in her hand and waving her arms around. The copper wire in the air flew everywhere under her operation, and several places were directly crisscrossed and knotted.

Liu Roulei used her lightness skills, using the knotted copper wire woven by Nie Erfeng as a foothold, and kept jumping, flipping and spinning in the air.

From a distance, Liu Roulei looked like a light blue butterfly, and the silver needles in her hand were like flowers scattered by a fairy, successfully hitting those invisible transparent insects again and again.

Seeing that Liu Roulei handled the situation with ease, Nie Erfeng felt relieved and immediately withdrew his right arm.

The copper wire on the right sleeve began to continue the previous operation, extending along the ground, pulling out as many insects as possible from the ground, throwing them into the air, and feeding them to Liu Roulei to deal with.

Nie Mufeng watched quietly from the side. He could not see the smooth and tacit operation of Nie Erfeng and Liu Roulei, but he was very intelligent and could probably guess what was going on over there.

He stood there for a long time. Finally, he felt something was wrong. He frowned slightly, took a step forward, and asked:

"Sister, what should I do?"

Nie Erfeng allowed him to give full play to his abilities and even took off his veil, making him think that he had to do something big.

So he was ready, alert at all times, and waiting for Nie Erfeng's arrangements at any time.

But he waited and waited for a long time, but never heard Nie Erfeng's call.

For a moment, he had an illusion.

Was he regretted by his sister?
